2 Old Town Designer Chalet 200 year old house, hotel in Shanghai

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated 2 Old Town Designer Chalet 200 year old house provides accommodations with a garden and free Wifi.

We got a loft bed with the living room and bathroom below. The host was friendly and helped whatever way he could with any queries. Located away fron the busier part of the street, it is quiet enough with easy access to everything. However, not many shops are opened by 7. We had to go to the outside part of the town to have our breakfast and explore around there since they are already open by 7. Other than that, the McDonalds opens at 7. This is a good town to visit and everyone is friendly.

Shanghai Century Old House Downtown B&B, hotel in Shanghai

Shanghai Century Old House Downtown B&B offers accommodations in Shanghai, 2.5 miles from People's Square and 2.7 miles from Jade Buddha Temple.

The host is very responsive, friendly, and helpful. The place is clean, cozy, stylish with a lot of natural light. A plus is that it is above a pet shop so you can drop by and visit so many cute kitties and puppies during your stay! The building itself is old, so don’t expect fancy exterior, but it is equipped with pretty much everything that I would need as a traveler.

    A homestay full of experience! Service, health, facilities are not to say! The room was very comfortable and functional, as comfortable as at home~ The location of the room is easy to find, very clean, when contacting the owner, he is always there, good communication, there was a small episode in the middle, the friend's watch was forgotten in the room, the owner was enthusiastic to help communicate, and finally we found the watch left in the corner, really thank you very much!

    This is a very nice homestay! It is located on the rooftop without soundproofing problem here, which is different from other homestays in Shanghai. The rooftop location is really quiet, the elevator is very fast, you can enjoy the sunrise in the morning and it is really comfortable to drink beer and watch the night view on the rooftop in the evening

    This homestay is truly astonishing! From the moment you step in, you are drawn to its warmth and comfort. The rooms are exquisitely decorated, with every detail revealing the host's care and taste. The bed is soft and comfortable, and after a good night's sleep, you feel rejuvenated. The service also made me very satisfied, warm but not overly intrusive, and the recommended local restaurants were great as well. I will definitely stay here again!
